Steel City, Royal Palace.

Kroll stood in the main hall, several shadows spread out in all directions with his feet as the center of the circle, and Prince Dima sat on the throne, watching Kroll's every move with interest. Suddenly, Kroll's closed eyes opened, and the shadows around him shrank back at the same time.

"The dove has reached a meeting with Tyre-Cyrius. Kroll's voice was as calm as ever.

Dima grinned and laughed exaggeratedly: "It's really worthy of Albert's former subordinate, there is such a good mark in this world! No wonder everything in the imperial capital can't escape his eyes, it turns out that everywhere the shadow reaches, all his 'eyes' are overgrown...... Hee-hee-hee, without your help, he would probably be very unaccustomed to it. ”

"You're wrong, I'm not anyone's bodyguard, you're just a partner of the Chaos Cult. Kroll asked, then, "I must therefore raise some suspicions—first, I have informed you of the movements of the dove and Tyre-Cyleus and others before the robbery, and second, you have heard of the dove's private contact with the king. Why the delay in taking action?"

"If it had been Albert, I'd guess he'd have had his most elite men in the prison and bought psychic in advance to make her attack when those people didn't expect it. ”

Kroll nodded noncommittally.

"However, to me, the villagers of Zero and Morning Dew Valley, the captains of the squads who died and even the lives of Tyre Cyrus are not worth mentioning. No matter how clear the water is, it will be polluted if it is left for a long time, not to mention that my father was unwilling to take on the role of a pool of clear water from the beginning...... As you can see, the foundations of this kingdom have been corroded, and it is time to uproot the whole kingdom - I need a war that is strong enough to lure out the rotten roots that are ready to move. ”

Dima opened her arms feverishly and announced as if she were a speech.

Superficial obedience and fear did not satisfy him, and he wanted to keep the kingdom free of any more voices against him, to cut off the last thoughts of the people, and to make it impossible for his people to dream of free from his rule.

This is a madman, but a madman who is still sane.

Kroll made an assessment in his mind.

Dima and Albert are two opposite extremes, which makes them very different ways of maintaining the system. And even in the history of Herutia, it is difficult to find a few tyrants like Dima, Kroll can feel that even after the war has been over for many years, Dima still longs for war in his bones, he is not suitable for peace, and the Hundred Years War in the sea of corpses and blood is the stage tailor-made for him.

Kroll is very happy with Dima's form.

What the Chaos Cult really needs is not a step-by-step conspirator, but a madman who dares to break everything at any time.

"My doubts were lifted. Kroll said.

"Hee-hee-hee, meet the coming war. Dima laughed wildly.

Morning Dew Valley.

The battle meeting was generally unsatisfactory, with Zero determined to stay in the Valley of Morning Dew and live with the villagers, and Dove's attempt to persuade a few people to return to the imperial capital failed, and Judith had no choice but to stay and prepare for a head-to-head confrontation with Dima. The whole village was in a state of depression, and the villagers were busy building fortifications in case of Dima's sudden attack, and they never dreamed that this small village would one day become the last base of resistance against Dima.

Ophelia saw Lin Qiu going up the mountain alone and silently followed.

"Deep Sea, what's going on?" Lin Qiu saw that there was no one around, and thought silently in his heart. He originally thought that the declaration of war between the cell and the Morning Dew Valley was caused by blood, but it was not until Fang Caigu appeared that he suddenly realized that this "blood" was brought by Ukigaku.

And his control of Ukigaku's abilities has become more and more handy.

"You guessed it right, it's indeed Ukigaku's influence. Shenhai said truthfully: "After Greila occupied Zero, your near-death state activated the bloodline of Ukigaku, and at that time, you were already on the verge of sub-demonization. ”

It was after the Shakdam incident, Lin Qiu was once again in a situation where he was robbed of his reason by power. In other words, in these two incidents, without the power of Bai Guji, Ramov and others to temporarily suppress the surge, he may have already become a sub-demon. The sequelae of these two incidents was that part of Fuyue's power had been fused into Lin Qiu's flesh and blood, so that in all irrational states, Fuyue's invisible thoughts would affect Lin Qiu's judgment.

"Of course, to sum up these cumbersome concepts...... It's the engraving that is rampage, master, the power of the second soul suppression jade is gradually not enough to suppress the seal. Shen Hai said, "In order to prevent the fusion from intensifying, please be sure not to fall into a near-death state until you find the third Soul Suppression Jade." ”

Before the deep sea voice fell, Ophelia's voice came from behind Lin Qiu: "Is there a problem with the engraving?"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Qiu didn't intend to hide this from Ophelia, at the power level, Ophelia's spatial imprint was at the same level as him, and he asked, "Have you encountered a similar situation?"

"Nope. Ophelia suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qiu's hand, a warm current poured into Lin Qiu's palm along Ophelia's palm, the soft touch of the girl's palm made Lin Qiu's old face red, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't shake off Ophelia for the first time: "This should make you better." ”

Ophelia's cheeks were crimson, too, and her tone was as low as a mosquito.

"Although I have half of the Sith Sign, this half of the Markt is missing the soul...... The monster is not in my body, it just holds its power in me. ”

"Master, there should also be a soul suppressing jade in her body. After feeling the warm current flowing into Lin Qiu's body, Shen Hai said.

These warm currents have solved Lin Qiu's urgent needs, and the power of Fuyue has a faint tendency to interfere with Lin Qiu's judgment, although Ophelia's help cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can prevent Lin Qiu from being carried away by "a stream of blood" again.

"Thanks, Ophelia. Lin Qiu said gratefully.

"No, our purpose is the same. Ophelia let go of Lin Qiu's hand and smiled: "But after this matter is over, you have to put the search for the third soul suppression jade on the agenda, if you need help, come to me." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Qiu watched Ophelia's back disappear at the end of the mountain range, and the breeze brushed her silver hair, this scene made Lin Qiu's restless heart gradually calm down because of Fuyue.

"Deep sea. He said in silence.

"Huh?"

"I'm about to become the great villain who overthrows a kingdom. ”

At the other end of the mountain, stands the majestic city of steel, which belongs to Dima alone.

"You've been there for a long time. Deep Sea replied in a leisurely tone.
